SUM Sep 15 last night. This ten box has been excellent so far but this particular stick was blah.

A little chilly around here this weekend, so on to some smaller sticks...

Reyes RAG MAY 19

El Principe RAT NOV 19 - I have only had two, ever, both from this box. Reminds me of a Nicaraguan stick. Not bad. Will be aging longer.

And the best stick of the weekend, an Asylum Mini Corona that's been here over a year. Not unlike the El Principe, but better. Sacrilege, I know.

A well deserved medio siglo after I was fixing a leaky toilet for the last 4 hours. Thought it was fixed and noticed it started up again.

Sunday special Rio Seco

 

last couple of days (or nights):

Party Petit Coronas Especiales. First time, still not sure what it’s profile is like, need to have another or 2 (5er from friend) before I buy a box. Anyone like these vs Party Shorts or Super Partagas?

All the small Partagas offerings besides the Shorts tend to be a blur for me. Super Partagas has had pretty good construction for me. I got a half plugged box of Mille Fleurs earlier this year. Just got a box of the Petit Coronas Especiales, but I've only had one so far. Again besides the Partagas shorts, all of these are generally some combination of pepper and spice. Sometimes some other flavours, but generally not a lot of complexity.

Any thoughts as to whether you think these have peaked? Or on the decline?legs to spare?

Cohiba Siglo VI LBT Jun 2009

There is no strict and public data available on the Cohiba Siglo VI but in my opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if it has been the most popular Linea 1492 cigar for Habanos S.A for a number of years. However, the recent change in prices due to the impact of Covid-19 on the Cuban economy may yet damper this market dominance. In regards to flavour profile, I've always felt that the Siglo VI has a blend slightly different to the Cohiba Siglo I-V, and I find it quite common amongst cigar enthusiast friends that the Siglo VI is rated highly and smoked more regularly than other Cohibas.

This is the first Cohiba Siglo VI I've had since I reviewed a 2006 and a 2015 Siglo VI for my Cohiba 2020 Video Reviews Series around six months ago. I'd like to have them more often but I find both current pricing ($US35 or $AU80 a stick) and the fact that I've been enamored or 'blown away' by other Cohiba vitolas more often means I don't smoke them as regularly.  

Over the years I've had my fair share of Cohiba Siglo VIs which have been too spicy, too dominant in mocha coffee, too light in sweet honey/vanilla flavours etc but this cigar today was simply superlative because all those Cohiba flavours that fans of this cigar adore were both perfect and finely-balanced. This had a mocha coffee spine with Cohiba grass/hay and honey, some vanilla and a slight buttered texture throughout. I paired it with a champagne cocktail and this only enhanced how brilliant this Siglo VI was. After I finished it I desired another, which is a hallmark of an appreciated and great cigar.

I'd like to acknowledge @cfc1016 for gifting me this cigar some time ago (thank you kindly dear friend). I saved it for a special occasion, that being my daughter becoming independent by passing her Driving Test today. I have no hesitation in asserting that this Siglo VI was one of the very best examples of this vitola I've ever smoked. It was as close to a 99 to 100 point cigar that one could wish for.
